Future problems of energy, food, medicines and materials are the problems of chemistry. No science is more at the core of every technology that supports the seven billion people living on the planet today than chemistry. Core chemistry presents how each branch of chemistry - physical chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry - evolved from a clear understanding of the principles and laws of chemical interactions
